David West shot 11-of-17 from the field for 26 points with five boards and one assist in 41 minutes against the Heat on Wednesday.
He had a big game and did some damage with seven of his field goals coming from within the paint. The Pacers had the Heat right where they wanted them in the first half with a five-point lead and a slower pace, but Miami changed the tempo in the second half. Lance Stephenson was also effective on the glass with his 12 boards to go with seven points, three assists and three steals, but his shot selection was sub-par, shooting 2-of-10 from the field.

The Clippers will make a "hard run" at David West in the offseason, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.

West is responsible for changing the culture with the Pacers, and both Indiana and West have gone on the record saying they'd like to remain with each other. Regardless, the Clippers will have West on the radar, and it wouldn't surprise us to see the veteran cash in with another multi-year deal around $10 million per season like the contract he's playing on now. West played with Chris Paul in New Orleans.

David West was limited by a strained right calf during Monday's practice, but he doesn't expect it to hamper him during Game 1 on Wednesday.

When asked if the injury would be an issue, West replied, "Nah." He is the Pacers' third-leading scorer during the playoffs at 15.5 ppg on 47.0 percent shooting, while playing nearly 35 minutes per game, and the good news is that his strained calf has a few more days to fully heal.

David West logged a double-double in Thursday's 85-75 loss to the Knicks with 17 points and 10 boards, while adding two assists and three steals in 39 minutes.

He was hobbling a bit in the first quarter with an apparent foot injury, but it didn't seem to be an issue as the game progressed. West shot 7-of-17 and struggled with his jumper, making just one of his six attempts outside of seven feet. He wasn't the only one that was off as Roy Hibbert was also sub-par with nine points, seven boards, one assist and two blocks in 31 minutes.

David West said the Pacers young core "only has room to get better," and he is inclined to re-sign with the team as a free agent this summer.

Remember that the Pacers are still competing in the playoffs, so West's circumspect quotes must be taken with a big grain of salt. "I love it here, love this group of guys, this environment, love the core group that we have," said West. The 32-year-old PF is earning $10 million this season and may look for one last big payday after a strong postseason.

David West scored a team-high 20 points in Sunday's Game 1 win over the Knicks to go with four boards, two assists and two blocks in 37 minutes.

The Pacers were getting great shots all afternoon and outscored the Knicks in the paint 46-32. Even though they didn't record any fastbreak points, the Pacers were able to put up 102 points in the win. The Knicks put Carmelo Anthony on West for a large portion of the game and that looks to be more than a mismatch for the undersized Knicks. New York did a bang-up job on West in their four games against him during the regular season with West averaging just 13.8 points per game.

David West scored 21 points on 9-of-21 shooting with eight rebounds and four blocks as the Pacers dispatched the Hawks to advance to the Eastern Conference semi-finals on Friday.

The Pacers struggled a lot more than many thought they would with the Hawks, but they pose a legitimate threat to the Knicks in the next round. Roy Hibbert went for 17 and 11 with two blocks, and George Hill had 21 points and seven assists in the win.

David West led a balanced Pacers attack that resulted in a 106-83 easy win over the Hawks in Indy on Wednesday to give the Pacers a 3-2 lead in the series.

West had 24 points and five rebounds on 11-of-16 shooting, George Hill had 15 points, five boards and 10 assists, and Paul George added a double-double with 21 points and 10 boards on 7-of-8 shooting, Roy Hibbert chipped in with 18 points and nine boards, while Lance Stephenson nearly had a double-double of his own with eight points and a career-high 12 rebounds. The Pacers outshot the Hawks 51 to 33 percent, and neither team can seem to get it done on the other's home court. And if that trend holds true in Atlanta on Friday and then Game 7 in Indy (if necessary), the Pacers are going to advance.

David West admitted that he's got to be a better player than he's shown in the first round.

"I have to figure out a way to be more effective in this series," he said. West is shooting under 50 percent from the floor in the series, and Frank Vogel said that the veteran is "just a little out of rhythm." He's dealt with foul trouble which has thrown West out of whack, but he knows he needs to step up since his team needs him.

David West didn't seem to be bothered by his first-half ankle sprain on Sunday, finishing with 13 points, nine boards and two assists in 32 minutes.

He only missed a couple minutes of action and his 32 minutes today is just a shade below his 33.4 minutes per game from this season. West is going to be a terror for Atlanta and he led all Eastern Conference power forwards in scoring this season.

David West suffered a mild ankle sprain in the second quarter of Sunday's game and did return.

He didn't roll his ankle too badly and there wasn't much of a noticeable limp as he made his way back to the locker room. It's safe to assume that West was re-taped and he will resume his usual role.

David West (rest) will not play Wednesday vs. Philadelphia.

The Pacers are resting their hogs in order to get ready for the postseason. Tyler Hansbrough will start in West's place and is a good bet to pick up a ton of rebounds in the year's final regular season game.

David West may be rested for one or both of the Pacers' final games now that they have locked up the No. 3 seed.

The Pacers play in Boston on Tuesday and at home vs. the 76ers on Wednesday. Frank Vogel has already ruled out George Hill (groin) for the final two games, Paul George may be done for the regular season, and West and Roy Hibbert are also prime candidates for rest. Check back on Monday for updates.

David West shot 11-of-13 from the field in Friday's loss for 26 points to go with nine boards, two assists, three steals and one block in 38 minutes.

West was a terror in the paint for Brooklyn with 10 of his 11 makes coming for inside the paint. He's one of the better offensive power forwards and ranks first in the Eastern Conference in points per game at his position.

David West scored 16 points on 7-of-14 shooting, adding seven boards, six assists, two steals and one block in 36 minutes.

He hit a big jumper late in the game and the 36 minutes is all we needed to see that he's close enough to 100 percent. West can be put back in all lineups and he'll have plenty of time to recover since the Pacers are off until Friday.
